1. A computer-implemented method for performing a scan of a subject utilizing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, comprising:
triggering, via a processor, a prescan by an MRI scanner of the MRI system upon the subject being setup on a table of the MRI scanner and the table reaching an iso-center of the MRI scanner;
subsequent to the prescan, triggering, via the processor, a calibration scan of the subject with the MRI scanner, wherein the calibration scan is an acoustic noise suppressed MRI scan;
obtaining, via the processor, calibration data from the calibration scan;
obtaining, via the processor, prescription parameters for subsequent scans of the subject with the MRI scanner from the calibration data; and
triggering, via the processor, at least one subsequent scan of the subject with the MRI scanner based on the prescription parameters.
